Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X30
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X30 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 30mm stroke and two guide rods with a fixing plate. The twin guides hold the platform non-rotating to within ±0.15° and carry lateral load a plain compact rod cannot, so it drives and guides a load in one unit.

About the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X30
The AirTAC TACQ80X30 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 80mm bore and 30mm stroke. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure strict non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, handling lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot support.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of this size, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull, scaling to 3518.5 N push at 0.7 MPa. The unit utilizes a PT3/8 port, a Ø25mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end. Body sensor grooves are present, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC TACQ datasheet. Two guide rods carry lateral load and hold rotation to ±0.15°; do not apply reverse torque beyond the datasheet limit. Confirm against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore — the guide rods add stiffness, not thrust. Keep moving mass and speed within the datasheet chart (rated at 0.5 MPa).

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X30 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Press Head
Drives a 2513.2 N pressing assembly in an automotive parts plant, using the twin guide rods to maintain precise vertical alignment under offset loads.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stopper on a packaging conveyor, absorbing lateral side-impacts from moving pallets while holding its position without rotation.
Large Panel Lift
Raises heavy electronic display panels on a pick-and-place machine, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to prevent component yaw during transfer.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X30 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80mm bore, compare its 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa against the neighboring Ø63 (1558.6 N) or Ø100 (3927.0 N) to match your load. If your application only requires pure linear thrust without anti-rotation, a plain ACQ saves space; if equal force on both sides is needed, consider a double-rod ACQD. Verify your ordering essentials: 80mm bore, 30mm stroke (under the 100mm max), PT3/8 thread, and no magnet. Always check the lateral-load capacity and confirm the allowable reverse torque from the datasheet, as exceeding these limits risks damaging the guide rods.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Lateral load / non-rotation needed?
- ✓ Moving mass and speed within chart
- ✓ Drive force at your pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ No reverse torque on the guide rods
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Do not apply reverse torque above the datasheet limit.
- check Apply external force concentric with the rod.
- check Keep mass × speed within the performance chart.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X30 FAQ
This 80mm bore cylinder provides 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 3518.5 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It has a 30mm stroke (maximum standard stroke is 100mm) and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The two chromed guide rods manage lateral loads, but maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke increases (order-of-magnitude for Ø80 is roughly 11.85 N·m down to 5.77 N·m); always confirm the exact limit from the datasheet. Do not apply external force above this limit. Additionally, it uses fixed elastomer bumpers rather than a lock, so use an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding on air loss.
